AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA CHALCIDOIDEA, VII.—GIRAULT. 107 
Type: No. Hy 3028, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, a hind 
tibia and a fore wing on a slide. 
This species differs from the genotype mainly in coloration but also the ocelli are in a 
slightly curved line and are somewhat larger. Compared with type of albiclava. Also, in the 
latter, the axille are separated and without a carina between them. Both species bear scattered 
pubescence from pin-punctures on scutum and seutellum. 
ZAOMENCYRTUS new genus. 
1. ZAOMENCYRTUS LEPIDOPTEROPHAGUS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.60 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, the wings hyaline but with a little stain at the marginal vein; 
base of abdomen across orange yellow. Legs yellow, washed in places with metallic. Antenne 
strongly capitate, the club as long as the funicle, large, obliquely truncate from one side: 
Pedicel stout, longer than any of the funicle joints yet not much longer than wide; funicle 
joints enlarging distad, 6 widest and longest, somewhat wider than long, 1 and 2 subequal, 
much smaller than 6; antennz 10-jointed, no visible ring-joint, the club only 2-jointed, the 
distal joint much the longest, the proximal joint much wider than long; club obtusely pointed. 
Marginal vein slightly longer than wide, the postmarginal somewhat shorter, half the length of 
the stigmal. Wings broad, with the usual hairless line. Mandibles as in Coccidencyrtus 
bicoloricornis as is also the body and head, the cheeks as long as the eyes, the head (cephalie 
aspect) somewhat longer than wide. Abdomen shaped as in the species named. Scape long, 
slender. Head scaly reticulate. Lateral ocelli their own diameter from the eye margins. 
Scrobes forming a long, rounded triangle. Frons rather broad. Seutum sculptured like the 
head but with additional minute, scattered setigerous punctures. Axille extraordinarily finely, 
transversely lined. Scutellum finely, longitudinally lineolated, scaly at apex. Axille a little 
separated. Abdomen scaly. Metapleurum bare. Segment 3 of abdomen long, occupying half 
or more of the surface. Mandibles slender. 
Very similar in form and most structures to Coccidencyrtus bicoloricornis. 
From many females labelled ‘‘ Nat. Mus. Victoria. Reared from supposed moth pupa 
on Lucalyptus tree near base, May, 95.’’ 
Habitat: Melbourne, Victoria. 
Types: In the National Museum, Melbourne, two females on a tag, two heads on a slide. 
ZOOENCYRTUS new species. 
1. ZOOENCYRTUS ACUTIVENTRIS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—1.30 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the scutellum and abdomen except at base, purplish, the legs straw 
yellow. Tip of scape white. The distal half of that part of the blade of the fore wing distad 
of apex of the stigmal vein, distinctly dusky, the dusky area covering the apex of the wing and 
conically projected a little past apex of stigmal vein, the projection a little obliqued caudad. 
Mandibles not especially long, with three subequal acute teeth. Scape dilated but not greatly, 
not extending beyond the venter—the antenne inserted a little above the ventral ends of the eyes 
yet a little below the middle of the face, the pedicel somewhat over twice longer than wide, a 
little longer than funicle 1 which is a little the longest of the funicle; funicle 6 somewhat longer 
than wide. Club somewhat over a third the length of the funicle; ring-joint present. Marginal 
vein about four times longer than wide, the stigmal three-fourths the length of the marginal, 
the postmarginal a little shorter than the stigmal; marginal fringes and the oblique hairless line 
present. Axillzs just meeting inwardly, the head and thorax finely, densely scaly, the abdomen 
a little less distinctly so, pointed conic-ovate, somewhat longer than the thorax, the ovipositor 
not exserted. Scutellum densely scaly punctate. Frons moderately broad; cheeks as long as or a
